[Thread] Things Get Damaged
Characters: AU!Lyle Norg, OU!Naoki Kashima
Where: Ast-Okto
When: Sometime after this conversation; before this.
Summary: Naoki feels bad that his hiding things has put a dent in their relationship, so he and Lyle are going to talk it out.
Warnings: It's these two, so gallons of angst and a bucket of fluff. Maybe a little language here and there at worst.
He sat curled against the far side of the couch, running an idle finger over the side of a battered-looking notebook. It had been requisitioned months ago and long since used up, but it had survived this long, thankfully, though his mind was elsewhere. Naoki knew what had pissed Isamu off so badly, but why it had spawned such a spiteful reaction to Lyle he couldn't understand. The whole damn thing between them had been mutual to the end, and all that nonsense about being left for dead was just an infuriating lie. He hadn't so much as seen Isamu once since the Conception; how was he to know the guy had been in any danger?
It didn't matter, though. Isamu could be as subborn as he wanted to; Naoki was going to put a stop to all the talk about him now. And after Lyle had pretty much confessed all those personal things at Tanabata, the least he could do now was to own up to the stupid stuff he'd done. Anything to put things back to how they were before. Lyle would understand, right? He had to. He always had before, hadn't he?
